A Republican running for Congress in Connecticut’s 2nd District abruptly dropped his bid on the day of the primary following his arrest on domestic violence charges.It's a lot messier than that, with allegations that the local GOP party officials tried to hush things up.
Thomas Gilmer, 29, of Madison was arrested by Wethersfield police late Monday and posted $5,000 bail. He was arraigned Tuesday in Superior Court in New Britain on charges of first-degree unlawful restraint and second-degree strangulation.
Things is, this guy's probably going to win the primary. He's the endorsed candidate and ten times as many voters in the primary are voting by mail than is usual, plus that he dropped out too late for the news to spread.

And the Q-Anon lady won her runoff, so this year's crop of Republicans looks like it's gonna be... special.
